Additional Details
The 2025 Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals (CAMH) features the official Joint Commission standards, elements of performance (EPs), National Patient Safety Goals®, and other accreditation requirements, including those for Primary Care Medical Home certification. It is organized as follows:
- • “Gold tab” standards requirements, including the standards, EPs, National Patient Safety Goals, and Accreditation Participation Requirements effective January 1, 2025
- • “Blue tab” accreditation process information about Joint Commission policies and procedures and practical survey preparation information on the Early Survey Policy, documentation requirements, standards applicability, and more
The CAMH also features icons to help navigate documentation requirements and risk areas, integrated regulatory requirements for deemed status, and a “What’s New” summary of changes made since the previous edition.
TJC has nearly 50 years of experience creating standards and accrediting healthcare facilities. With their focus on continuous performance improvement, patient safety, and healthcare quality, the organization is a well-respected authority. While the layout of this manual is delivered in a manner that focuses on healthcare administration and quality managers, the true content is applicable to all healthcare personnel. From the perspective of administration, it guides the facility in preparation for accreditation. From the perspective of other healthcare personnel, it informs practice to provide quality care that ensures patient safety.
